My mother's maiden name was Bartram. I am extensively researching the family which spread throughout Norfolk and Suffolk, also incorporating alternative spellings such as Battram, Bartrum, Batterham etc.

The Foremans of Suffolk do not appear to be well-represented in online records prior to the 19th Century, so compiling their genealogy has proved so far to be difficult. My Foreman ancestors came from the village of Laxfield

Our Ingram family is one of a large number who can be traced back to the Aberdeenshire village of Gartly, close to Huntly. One of my ultimate aims is to connect together the various branches that already existed at the beginning of the existing parish records in 1709.

Researching the Kingsbury family of Dorset, England and beyond, which seems to be distinct from the family of the same name originating from Suffolk, and before that Warwickshire. There is a Bere Regis in Dorset, and I believe this is the source of the name for this family, eg. King's Bere.

This family appears to originate in central Suffolk. There are many records in existance which are not to be found online covering earlier generations - a key place seems to be Coney Weston, where a lot of the lines originate.

A large family which spreads across Norfolk and Suffolk. My own branch of the family is not so easy to connect with the large numbers to be found in the records of the villages near Diss, but I am working on it!

There have been members of the Wadge family in the area of Lewannick, Cornwall since at the end of the 16th century - I have spent a great deal of time trying to connect the upper branches of this family with some success, though the work continues, and there is always more to find out.

It is thanks to William that we have proved our family's connection with John Biles Kingsbury family. We have been searching for the connection for over 40 years. His transcriptions are excellent and so useful.

Thank you, William, for your correction of Louisa (now BARTRAM) Bedingfield. I am sorry that in my acknowledgment of that I quoted your own name wrongly as 'Ingham'. I seem to be piling mistake upon mistake. Anyway, I really appreciate your good work, which now links my own tree further back by means of your diligence with the Bartrams.

Your Stehen Kearley you may find is a match for my Kerly-1 who was the older brother of my 2nd Great Uncle. There is flexibility in the spelling of the surname. He died young and the family lived in the village of Langton Long in the parish of Blandford St Mary Dorset England My g-g grand Uncle was the blacksmith at Spetisbury Dorset England.
